I 'was' strongly considering the Outback as my next vehicle, to replace my Honda Accord.

I really would like to try their AWD out in the winter, to give me some extra confidence in really bad weather. Yes, i have snow tires, but I'd like that extra awd grip.

What I don't like reading about are the continuing lawsuits surrounding the ongoing cracking windshields. Only to be replaced by another spontaneously cracking windshield. Of course when that happens, the eyesight has issues.
It's fairly obvious to me that there is a major design flaw in either the windshields they're using, or the car frame itself. These are not isolated incidents that Consumer Reports should be factoring into their score.
As it stands, I wouldn't want to put up with that ongoing hassle.
